Vince le Barde, aka Electrypnose, is probably
best known as a dark trance producer.But Suntrip
will prove, like others did before, that he is a
super talented artist who loves to explore other
types of electronic music as well!

The result we offer is a second ambient album by
Electrypnose called 'Sweet Sadness'! The first
one, 'Subliminal Melancholies', was released in
2006 and got superb feedback. This sequel gives
us more sensitive soundscapes, piano-led
melodies, sinister atmospheres and weird rhythms!

Sweet Sadness is a really diverse album. Some of
the tracks are very chilled, almost rhythmless
while others are more traditional ambient, modern
classical music or even electro-influenced
downtempo! What makes all these tracks so unique
is Electrypnose's ability to create music with a
soul. Because of that the music is perfect to lie
down and dream away. Will you join us?

'Nocturnal Emissions' is Yab Yum's debut album released in 2006. 'Yab Yum' is Ajja & Gaspard, two musicians, two sets of creative energy, influenced by each other & fusing in a whole that is greater then the sum of its parts.

Gaspard has been DJing and organizing parties for 9 years. He started as DJ Throbbe and played with Psyberpunk Corp. Today, he is DJ Gaspard for his night-time psychedelic trance sets and DJ Equilibrium for his floating ambient mixes.

Ajja has been a musician all his life. Growing up in the world-famous tattooing Leu family and travelling across the world has given him a strong creative drive. Although he lived in Goa when trance was coalescing, the jadedness of the scene turned him away from electronic music for many years. He accumulating a major body of original non-trance material as a by-product.

In 1998 Gaspard came in for a tattoo in Ajja's shop and they became fast friends. During the next few years Gaspard helped refuel Ajja's love of trance by dragging him out to psychedelic parties across Switzerland. Their first performance together, at the Psyberpunk Naturalp Festival in November 2002, consisted of Gaspards DJ set, live percussion & live fx by Ajja. Later that year, they toured Australian festivals - Outback Eclipse, Rainbow Serpent & Exodus.

In the summer of 2003, Gaspard and Ajja in collaboration with visual artist Tanina Munchkina & musician Master Margherita created Peak Records - Switzerlands first psy-trance label! Performing together with the P.G.C (an organic-trance live-act of which Ajja is a founding member) through the summer of 2004, revealed high compatibility between Gaspard & Ajja ranging from very similar tastes in music to humour, partying & psychedelic philosophy.

The next logical step was the formation of their own live act: Yab Yum. So Logic was bought, laptops were tuned up & they got down to business: Ajja bringing his knowledge of instruments and frequencies and Gaspard, a strong sense of dance-floor dynamics from his experience as a DJ & sound engineer.

This combination has produced many strong, psychedelic, dance oriented tracks, that have been greatly appreciated by trancers everywhere. Yab Yum have been released on respected labels worldwide & have released their debut album "Nocturnal Emissions" on Peak Records in December 2006.

In June 2008, due to personal reasons, Dj Gaspard played his last gig with Yab Yum. Since then, Ajja has taken on the project on his own, and is currently performing in parties and festivals around the globe.

In a world that is spiralling faster every day, 'Psychogenica' is a reassuring breath of 144bpm based psychedelic trance.

Fusing his experience as Peak Record's label manager with a dancefloor diploma from his Yab Yum project and his prog-trance pedigree as a founding member of The Peaking Goddess Collective, Ajja has a PhD in psychedelic trance that will gently remind any dancefloor of the most important lesson: we are here to groove!

'Psychogenica' is 11 funky tracks arranged in such a way as to encourage you to trance and dance, keeping you solidly grounded while you spiral to the sonic seat of the soul.

Ajja starts at 144 and keeps it steadily there for most of the album, dazzling and delighting you constantly with his grooves and keeping you interested without the need for speed. In the last quarter, the pace is upped to 146bpm for some more twisted tracks that are reminiscent of Yab Yum, before levelling off to 145bpm for the last track, a hypnotic piece that cleanses you with its hauntingly beautiful outro and leaves you refreshed, replenished and ready to hit repeat on your cd player!

Featuring mind-blowing art by Ajja's brother, Filip Leu, combined with resident Peak Record's visual artist Tanina Munchkina and Ajja's own visionary digital work, 'Psychogenica' is a feast for the eyes that will stand out in any cd collection.

'Psychogenica' will get you bopping instantly and fill your brain with searing flashes of sunshine. This is music that wants to play with your body, while your mind is distracted by a seamless sea of sequenced synchronicity.

Syncronize Records is proud and happy to present ‘Phantasmatika ‘, the epic, full-length second album of French psychedelic wizard Hyper Frequencies. Four years after his debut solo album ‘Red Crystal Moon’ gave us an insight into his particular, unique and colourful multiverse, Hyper Frequencies is back with his new release ‘Phantasmatika’. A deep psychedelic opus even more promising and original !

Two years of production, editing, and frequent testing on trancefloors around the world, manifested in ten tracks that perfectly represent Hyper Frequencies’ phantasmagorical multiverse. Chimerical, tribal, organic and mystic, ‘Phantasmatika’ provides an immediate take-off on-board the fantasy spaceship… Let yourself be tranceported! And while on this psychosideral trip, discover a world where frequencies, rhythms, waveforms, oscillators and LFO, cross and mix to create a positive, deep and magical emotion…

He then took this experience back to Greece where he became a pioneer in the Greek scene known as Dj lori.

Since then he has stepped out of the Dj world and into music production where he is sure to have a floor stomping, successful and happy career.
